This is super helpful. Not only does it help people understand how the system works but also this is invaluable for comparing offers. I always end up with a bunch of pencil scratch notes or if I’m really trying an excel sheet to compare offers.
I know sometimes we might only get one offer and you’re stoked about anything you get. However, I highly encourage everyone on the market to do what they can to have more than one offer. This has been the only way to truly have leverage while negotiating. I’ve also been surprised and joined a company that I thought was just going to give me leverage. Their offer was so much better and the team was a way better match for my skills and personality.
Feature Request: Add the ability to compare multiple offers and show a side by side comparison. Or maybe the ability to export to a CSV so people can do this themself.
Another feature request: add ability to compare their offer to offers on levels.fyi so they can know if they have room to negotiate.
The use case that opened my mind is blockchain domain registrars. You can buy a domain and own it forever without a monthly payment. Everyone knows it is owned by a wallet and you can update the blockchain with your DNS info.
As far as I can tell it might be a little while before some of the TLD are supported by major browsers without an extension but I do believe support is inevitable.
Domains are a great blockchain product in my opinion.
Another aspect is products that can be tokenized without a company controlling things. The smart contracts are really cool in that you can make it so that you get paid a percentage of future sales. Forget about digital photos but think of it from owning a musicians album (royal does this).
These are things that can be done without the blockchain but you end up paying companies to manage it for you. They also set rules and they can also cancel you. Free from management fees and no company dictatorship.
